The invention comprises various details of construction, combinationsand arrangei ments of parts which will be hereinafter more 1 fullydescribed, shown in the accompanying E drawings and the novel featuresthereof will be ointed out in the appended claim.

corresponding parts in the several illustrations, by numerals, 1designates asuitable table, to which the ironing board 2 is ap lied, asclearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the raw 1: lngs.

board are hinges 3 between the portions 4 of which a clampingmember 5 ispivoted upon the pin 6, as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and '3 of thedrawings. Between the end 7 of the clamping member 5 and the end S ofthe ironing board, the table 1 is clamped, as will be observed uponreferring to Figs. 1 and 2. The. end 10 of the clamping member isrovided with a'reduced portion 11, whic is pivoted b tween the arms 12ofa bifurcated portion 13 of a leg supporting member 14, as 1 clearlyshown in Figs. 2 and3. l 'It will be seen, upon referring to Fig. '2 r fthe drawings, that the leg supporting 1nember 14 is disposed in parallelrelation to the legs of the table so asto cause the ends 13 of the arms12 to have a'cam action upon the under face of the ironing board so asto throw thereby securely clamping the top of the table, as will beclearly evident upon referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.

The leaf portions 4 of the hinges 3 are lunged to the plates 16, whichtogether with the portions 4 compose the said hinges 3, which plates 16are secured to the under face of the ironing board by suitable screws1.7, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

From the foregoing, it will be notedthat a simple and novel ironingboard is afforded member is afforded, which, when manipulated forsupporting the ironing ates a locking member between which and theironing board the table is clamped.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim to be new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is:
